Meeting of the SEND Leadership and Management RIG

The next SEND Leadership and Management RIG is scheduled for Wednesday 13th March, with guest speaker Fiona King.

Building on discussions that took place at the last meeting around leadership development, this session will focus on the leadership and management of all teams, in particular, teachers. The theme for consideration is:

‘Given SEND Leadership is continually evolving and teachers now have a greater responsibility in terms of meeting increasing needs, what are the most effective leadership and management approaches to empower and enable teachers?’

To ensure that you’re prepared for the meeting, the SEND group has included two papers for you to consider reading beforehand, if you wish.

The first of these papers is on professional learning in education, by Fiona King, Orla Ni Bhroin and Anita Prunty. The second is a comparative study on teacher leadership between China and Malaysia. You can read them both here:
